Joshua 5

1 Amih a kat khuiah BOEIPA loh Israel ca rhoek mikhmuh lamkah Jordan tui a haang sak te Jordan khotlak rhalvangan kah Amori manghai boeih neh tuitunli phaikah Kanaan manghai rhoek boeih loh a yaak uh vaengah a thinko paci uh tih Israel ca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah a khuikah mueihla om voel pawh.

And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites who [were] on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites who [were] by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we had passed over, that their heart melted; neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.

2 Te tue ah Joshua te BOEIPA loh, “Namah loh lungpang cunghang saii lamtah Israel ca rhoek te yahhmui koekthoek rhet pah bal laeh,” a ti nah.

At that time the LORD said to Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.

3 Te dongah Joshua amah loh lungpang cunghang a saii tih Israel ca rhoek kah yahhmui te Haaraloth som ah a rhet pah.

And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

4 Joshua loh yahhmui a rhet pah kawng te he tlam he om. Egypt lamkah aka hlah uh pilnam boeih neh caemtloek hlang boeih, tongpa rhoek khaw Egypt lamkah ha nong uh tih longpueng kah khosoek ah duek uh coeng.

And this [is] the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, [that were] males, [even] all the men of war died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.

5 Pilnam aka pawk boeih te yahhmui rhet la om ngawn coeng dae Egypt lamkah ha hlah uh tih longpueng khosoek kah aka thaang pilnam boeih tah yahhmui rhet uh pawh.

Now all the people that came out were circumcised; but all the people [that were] born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth from Egypt, [them] they had not circumcised.

6 BOEIPA ol te a yaak uh pawt dongah Egypt lamkah aka lo caemtloek hlang kah namtu boeih loh a mitmoeng duela Israel ca rhoek loh khosoek ah kum likip poengdoe uh. Te dongah Tekah khohmuen amih tueng voel pawt ham ni BOEIPA loh amih te a tap. Suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen te mamih taengah paek hamla a napa rhoek taengah BOEIPA loh a caeng dae.

For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people [that were] men of war who came out of Egypt were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: to whom the LORD swore that he would not show them the land which the LORD swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

7 Amih yueng la aka poe a ca rhoek te tah longpueng ah yahhmui a rhet uh pawt dongah pumdul la aka om rhoek te Joshua loh yahhmui a rhet pah.

And their children, [whom] he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.

8 Yahhmui rhet te namtom boeih loh a coeng uh van neh a saibawn due rhaehhmuen ah om uh.

And it came to pass when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.

9 Joshua te khaw BOEIPA loh, “Egypt kah kokhahnah te nangmih pum dong lamloh tihnin ah ka palet coeng,” a ti nah. Te dongah tekah a hmuen ming khaw tihnin due Gilgal la a khue.

And the LORD said to Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you: Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal to this day.

10 Israel ca rhoek loh Gilgal ah a rhaeh uh vaengkah hlasae hnin hlai li hlaem ah Yoom te Jerikho kolken ah a saii uh.

And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.

11 Yoom vuen ah khohmuen cangrhuem, vaidamding neh cang rhoh khaw tekah khohnin buelh ah a caak uh.

And they ate of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched [corn] in the same day.

12 Khohmuen cangrhuem a caak uh vuen ah manna khaw duem van coeng. Te dongah Israel ca rhoek ham manna om voel pawt dae tekah kum dongah tah Kanaan kah khohmuen cangthaih ni a caak uh coeng.

And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

13 Jerikho kho ah Joshua loh a om vaengah a dan van dae a hmai ah hlang pakhat pai tih a kut neh cunghang a yueh te lawt a hmuh. Te dongah anih te Joshua loh a paan tih, “Nang he kaimih hui dae nim, kaimih kah rhal dae nim,” a ti nah.

And it came to pass when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went to him, and said to him, [Art] thou for us, or for our adversaries?

14 Te vaengah, “Moenih kai he BOEIPA kah caempuei mangpa lam ni tahae ah ka pawk,” a ti nah. Te dongah Joshua loh a hmai longah diklai la bakop tih a bawk. Te phoeiah anih te, “Ka BOEIPA loh a sal ham he balae a thui?,” a ti nah.

And he said, No; but [as] captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshiped, and said to him, What saith my lord to his servant?

15 Te dongah BOEIPA kah caempuei mangpa loh Joshua te, “Na pai nah hmuen he a cim dongah na kho dong lamkah na khokhom te pit laeh,” a ti nah vanbangla Joshua long khaw a saii van.

And the captain of the LORD'S host said to Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot, for the place on which thou standest is holy: and Joshua did so.
